Hey Momma! Are you a good sleeper? Or are you waking up a lot, maybe because of pain or you have to pee? Sleep is the number one foundational piece to our health and is crucial for our overall health and managing our bodies stress and in turn, our pain and urgency symptoms.  Last week’s episode broke down the reality of how much stress impacts and can even be causing your pain and urinary urgency symptoms and why I see alot more flare ups of symptoms this time of year.  It inspired me to dive deeper into how we can manage our stress so for the next few weeks I am doing a Stress Management Series, where each week I will break down the various areas in our lives that directly impact our overall stress and ability to heal, restore and manage all the chaos this Holiday season. Starting with sleep, because sleep is vital for all other things to work optimally.  So inside this week's episode I am going to dive into why sleep is so important, what good sleep looks like and also tips and strategies to improve your sleep hygiene.  As moms we are kind of trained to function on almost no sleep, starting in pregnancy and especially during postpartum, but that doesn't mean it is good for us! Especially if you are someone with urinary urgency and waking to go to the bathroom alot at night (or even once) or waking because of pain or difficulty falling asleep, this episode will be so helpful for you! If you are wondering what you can do to improve your sleep make sure you stay tuned!
